to have a bff

some people just know how to be there for you through the thick and through the thin. jessica and i met in january 2005 in college as roommates by being fellow transfers. we were blessed with a close bond in just 3.5 years of being roommates. after we graduated in May 2008, we continued (and continue) to keep in touch even though we have moved across the country from each other and lead separate lives. she is one of my dearest friends, and i feel like i've known her forever:)

she flew in last week to visit, as we were both dying to spend time together again! little did we know that God had a plan in her being here (besides for her to enjoy the beautiful 60º weather!) hahaa:) i found out the day after she got here that i would be taking over a 1st grade class the coming week (which is already tomorrow!). it seemed like perfect timing that her visit would include my big transition into yet another room. we worked in my new room from 7:30 this morning until 5 tonight and it is soooo transformed!!! (pictures to follow soon!) the custodians worked a "mary poppins miracle" in the cleaning and arranging of the room, and jessica followed close behind with that as she organized, put up bulletin board papers and posters, and did her own fair share of cleaning. i never heard a discouraging word out of her mouth during our long day... what an encouraging friend! i am so blessed to feel the sunshine she spreads and i know i would have never gotten the room ready for tomorrow without her help all day today! THANKS JESSICA!!! LOVE YOU:)
